Company Description
PDC Machines, LLC is the world leading manufacturer of diaphragm compression systems and hydrogen refueling solutions. We are driving the global hydrogen energy ecosystem by providing cutting-edge hydrogen compression technology that enables consumers, industries, and companies to abandon gasoline engines in favor of zero-emission fuel cells.
Our mission is to lead the world’s advance to clean energy, and to progress the role of hydrogen in the energy transition. Our purpose is to have a positive lasting impact on the world, and we’re making it happen – for our community, for our planet, and for generations to come.
Since 1977, PDC’s compressors have been the preferred choice of industrial gas companies for use in specialty gas, oil & gas, chemical, petrochemical, research, and renewable energy. Over the last 20 years we have shifted our focus to hydrogen energy as a fuel of the future. Today we are a key supplier of state-of-the-art solutions for both industrial gas and renewable energy companies.
With sales and service offices in the US, China, Japan, South Korea, Germany, and Australia, PDC provides world-class support. Our compressors are backed by a US-based team of factory service technicians, engineers, and a global support network to ensure maximum compressor uptime.
